Well, the story's seven or eight years in the making, but we finally got married.
Now we just need to get Gene Van Horne to sculpt a bride and groom mouseling. Or a zombie bride and groom mouseling. Or a bride and groom mouseling with chainsaws... http://forum.reapermini.com/index.php?/topic/44574-zombie-mouselings-a-love-story/&amp;tab=comments#comment-616402

Totally new to the Reaper brand, so forgive me if this is mentioned somewhere else.....
When I look at the Mousling line of minis, I see a few different models that are listed as 2 separate SKUs and 2 different prices but there's zero information about them so I don't know what's up with that. For example with SKU 03744 it's $7.49, while — SKU 77290 is $2.99 (Mousling Druid & Beekeeper). I've also noticed this with the King & Princess, Ranger & Yeoman, etc. The cheaper models are shown with a B next to them on the table as well. The only other difference I've noticed is release dates.
I saw one thread mention different SKU's for different materials but it didn't mention the 03XXX SKUs. Can someone help me?
I want them all but don't want to buy the same thing at two different prices if they are, in fact, the same thing.

I had planned to do a bunch of mouselings in november and december.. but work got in the way. I never had a more busy and stressfull december than this year.
But in the end I managed to finish two sets... just to late to hang in the Christmas tree.. ðŸ˜Š

I always start my WIPs too late. This is my first scenic thing, normally I paint/build for game use exclusively, but my wife wanted a little scene with the mouselings from Bones II.
This is somewhere in the done to done-ish range, but I've not convinced myself yet. I think maybe the tree needs more bulk and I'm mixed on the grass. I feel like a few tufts of color wouldn't hurt. Maybe some flower tufts? I still need to stain and seal the rim obviously, but I'm waiting until I'm finished so I can tape those sections off and give a light spray coat to help things stay put.
Is there maybe something I could do to the bush/tree material to give it more color depth? Will it take paint well? It's the Woodland Scenics stuff usually used for model train terrain.
Any other tips or advice would be most welcome.

The tavern is complete and the mouselings are having a opening party.
This was a lot of fun to build and paint and I am super happy how it turned out.
The outside of the tavern was not planned at the beginning, but I am happy that I added it.
Planning and creating the interior was a lot of fun.
The working lights and fireplace really add a lot, this is night time picture with only the lights of the tavern itself.
You can find the build process here: W.I.P.
I want to thank everybody who commented on the wip thread the nice comments and suggestions.

So I'm gonna add the ArtistCon Mouseling mini to the Moat House dungeon for ReaperCon....somewhere. Curious if anyone can think of stats to give him. I'm sure there is something in there that I can use for him, but figured I'd brainstorm the forum.
What I'd like are old school D&D (or in this case Sword & Wizardry) creature creation for levels 3-5.
Let see what everyone can come up with!!

After a few years of almost no painting I wanted to start again with a new project. The mouselings looked fun to paint. After I received the set I started thinking about making a display for the mouselings. The plan is to make the interior of a tavern in a box. On one side the bar and on the other side a stage for the musicians.
The front of the box wil be two stories high with a sloping ceiling to the back. This is the test layout.

So I was rummaging through my miniatures hoard as longtime collectors are prone to do from time to time, and I came across the Terror!! On Planet X Mouseling set.
Was surprised to see it was actually from the 2011 Reaper Artist Conference, had forgotten that although I do remember it had limited availability, and this brought a couple of questions to mind.
Have any other Artist Conference sets been made since then?
None come to mind and the Mouselings from the Planet X set were the only result I had when searching the online store.
Just how limited were the production numbers on that tentacled beastie that was included in the original set. Curious minds want to know.
Also. Reaper should have made a mini of the retro rocket ship shown in the cover art.
Although its general egg shape and aesthetic does remind me if the one Patrick Keith produced since for his Counterblast line.

So I let the mouse out of the bag in the ReaperCon forum that I'm gonna run a S&W version of Hommlet at RCon this year. Now I asked earlier about adopting Mouselings to a D&D race, but what you do think for S&W. Obviously since S&W gets its rules from D&D they should be quite the same but I don't want to over-power the mice compared to the other races. Granted, the mouselings replace the human race in this game with other animals replacing various race (ie no traditonal PC races).
I was thinking the following ideas:
+1 DEX, -1 STR (thou the muscle-bound barbarian mouseling mini will get +2 STR -1 INT -1 DEX; He built his muscles vs his brain & mobility LOL)
20' movement rate thou I'm playing with a sudden burst movement similar to how mice move, maybe once per combat, add 10'?
infravision thou I'm not sure of the range right now. I don't want it out to 60' like normal characters as everyone has it, maybe 30'?
For thief skills I was thinking
+5% Climb Walls
+5% Move Silently
+5%Hide in Shadows
Any ideas?

So, now that we have recovered from GenCon, I thought it time to show off my horrible excuse for painting a Mouseling at GenCon:P Others are welcome to show off and post pics of their Speed Paint entries from GenCon 2013, too:) Mine came in as Honorable Mention(AKA Fourth Place) in my round.
Third Pic didn't come out so good. So what did everyone else paint and how well did it do?
